These test results have been posted on John's website since 1996 and have been generally ignored. This is understandable, since they do not specify the speed of the generator during the various test results or the specific output circuit showing a rectified output driving a resistive load.
But there is other evidence that this design behaved with extremely low drag under low impedance loading conditions, including battery charging.
Two Battery Systems
This image, dated 1988, shows a Kromrey style generator charging a second battery while the drive motor is run from the first battery. The excess mechanical energy is then geared down for use by an external mechanical load.
www.bedinisg.com/ 79 The green control box includes circuitry that monitors the battery voltages and automatically switches the batteries when the run battery drops to 11.1 volts.
In this image, dated 1989, we see that this configuration is now being referred to as the "G-flux Energizer." The
caption in this image also says that this design was being developed to power an electric boat with the excess
mechanical energy used for propulsion and the Energizer used to provide extended run times on the battery system. So, by 1989, we see significant improvements to the Self-running Energizer circuit disclosed in the 1984 book which only used one battery. The drawing above shows a two pole rotor but specifically stipulates an eight pole rotor. This arrangement was tested on a wide variety of
systems over the years, such as in this model.
Switching Circuits and Motor Control
While John was focusing on
simplification, and the single-sided, self-triggered circuit that evolved into the SG circuit we know today, Ron was interested in using these
configurations to produce more mechanical energy, like a standard electric motors does.
www.bedinisg.com/ 80 For this type of operation, Ron needed a double-sided switching circuit, so the coils could be energized and then completely disconnected from the supply before being reconnected in the opposite polarity.
Here is an example of one of the compound, self-rotating Energizer designs from this period. It is designed to both motor and generate, but has both North and South
magnetic poles, so the double-sided switching circuits were required. This image is dated Aug 23, 1986. It also stipulates eight poles
on the rotor, as well as a "hall effect" device on the left end of the shaft, with its own small magnets, to control the motor timing.
This image shows a model of this topology built by John in about 1983. It used early NEO magnets, listed as "iron boron" magnets in the drawing, and fairly wide air-gaps between the rotors and the coils. It had both motor and generator coils on the same cores in the
stators. Unlike the drawing, this model had a separate "trigger coil" mounted in the upper right hand corner,
www.bedinisg.com/ 81 Here is the circuit used for the motor drive section of this type of combined motor-energizer which used both magnetic poles on both sides of the rotor.
This circuit shows only a single battery supply with the inductive recovery collected through a full-wave bridge rectifier and stored on a capacitor, which is then optionally offered to an external load or back to the primary supply. The point of the circuit was not to define all of the recovery
options, but to clearly define the drive coil design for a bi-polar
configuration with full disconnect and full reversal of the coils during operation. The Bedini "Window Motors" used this circuit, as well.
Mind you, electronic commutation of this type was not used in commercial motors for another 20 years, so this was very sophisticated stuff for 1986. Ron and John also developed a single-sided drive circuit that John has used in various models of his "Monopole" motors since this time.
www.bedinisg.com/ 82 Here is a variation of the
"Bedini-Cole Switch" that is triggered by a "trigger coil" like the SG, but it could also be triggered by a Hall Effect device like the circuit on the previous image.
In this image, we see a classic twin coil design, set to run in the "forced repulsion mode" using the single sided Bedini- Cole switch, seen mounted on the black plate in the lower right. The Hall Effect device is triggered by a second set of smaller magnets mounted in the small white wheel on the shaft.
And here is another version of the double-sided switch triggered by magnetic reeds. This "Neutral Line Motor" designed by John and built in 2003 could reach 11,000 rpm. The point is, this was all R&D, and dozens of variations were tried and found to have merit. The circuits that John has had on his website are just a "sample"
www.bedinisg.com/ 83
Monopole Version of the G-flux Motor Energizer
One of the most interesting designs developed by Ron Cole during this period was this Monopole configuration, using ceramic ring magnets and iron pole pieces on the rotor. The design was extremely compact and it allowed high flux densities in the coil cores from low flux density ceramic magnets. It was also universal in its application, working equally well as a high torque motor with inductive recovery or as a low drag energizer powering low impedance loads, or both. It could operate as a repulsion motor using the Bi-Polar Switch or as an attraction motor with single sided switching, like an SG. This one configuration could do it all.
And this shows another talent that Ron Cole had, besides being a brilliant circuit designer and engineer. He was also a gifted illustrator.
It should be fairly clear by now that this technology was developed to a very high level through the 1980s, but because of the threats John received in 1984, they were very careful about who they let know. When Ron Cole died, all of his working models and files were confiscated by NBC because his contract stated that anything he developed during his period of

The Period of Quiet (1989 - 2004)
John moved to Idaho in 1990 for reasons associated with his audio amplifier business, and to be closer to his father, who lived in Coeur
d'Alene. At this point, he had all but given up on ever trying to bring this technology out as a product. At the same time, he decided to start building small models of many of the variations of the systems that had been
developed in the 1980s.
This is the period where John perfected the simple little circuit that can allow a toy motor to run an intolerably long time on a single 9 volt battery. Dozens of models were made with this circuit using both plastic and wood. Here is but a small sample of the working models in John's Museum!
Shawnee Baughman built her Science Fair project motor during the 1999- 2000 school year and John had the plans for that circuit posted on the Keelynet website by March of 2000. All of the electrical engineers and supposed "smart guys" who frequented the site dismissed the plans as "meaningless." Since none of them bothered to build a model, it was a classic case of "condemnation without investigation."
John had 20 years of working models in his shop! He simply could not understand why no one was willing to even look at this technology.

The SG Project Takes Off (2004)
In the summer of 2004, Sterling Allan visited John's shop. He was shown everything that was there. Since Sterling wanted to be the one who broke the "Free Energy" story to the world, he asked John if he could publish a set of plans and a parts list, so people could build one themselves. Since John had already done that with Keelynet, he agreed to issue an up-dated set of plans for Sterling.
Here is an image of the schematic and parts list given to Sterling for the "one transistor" circuit in September of 2004.
This new set of plans had two differences over the Keelynet circuit. First, he called it the "School Girl Motor" to purposely insult
all of the supposed smart guys who had not looked at it before, and second, he used the two battery system where the motor ran from one
battery and charged the second battery directly from the recovered energy. Sterling also started a discussion
forum on Yahoo Groups so people building the project could
communicate with each other. Sterling even built a model which worked quite well for a first
attempt, being able to recharge the second battery at about 90% of the rate of the discharge of the first battery.
www.bedinisg.com/ 86 In spite of this, Sterling eventually declared that the technology was a
"hoax" and that it was not a free energy machine since it did not run indefinitely without the batteries going down.
But the "cat was out of the bag" so to speak, and people from all around the world started reporting good results and wanting to learn more. By 2005, the discussion threads were turned over to Rick Friedrich to moderate, eventually being turned over to John in 2011.
The discussion threads were a major advancement over the earlier period of "no publicity," but they produced a lot of confusion, because so many people were posting on how they thought the circuits worked. Finally, the effort was made to explain John's discoveries in a definitive series called the Bedini SG Handbook Series, of which this is the last volume.
The Bedini Ferris Wheel (2010)
From August 1984 until November 2010, the "Jim Watson Machine" had been the largest model of John's technology ever shown in public. That changed on November 13th, 2010, when John unveiled his "Ferris Wheel" machine to an audience of
over 400 attendees at the first Bedini Technology conference in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. This picture was taken by one of the participants from the back of the room. The 14 foot
diameter "Ferris Wheel" machine can be seen in the distance.
The machine took over two
months to build and cost over $20,000. It was designed to demonstrate John's technology to the crowd in a dramatic manner. Beyond that, it has
www.bedinisg.com/ 87 had a relatively prosaic life. It was shown again at the 2011 conference, after which, it has never been fully assembled. The problem was that when fully assembled, the machine was 6 inches taller than the large bay doors at John's shop. It was a lot of work to rebuild the top section of the wheel and since no more tests were run on it, it was never reassembled. It stayed partially disassembled at John's shop through 2012, and was finally moved into storage when John down-sized his shop in 2013. It remains partially disassembled, but potentially operational today.
The machine had three large coils of wire on the bottom and was operated in "full power mode" with the bi-polar "Bedini-Cole Switch" like the one shown on page 82. The only difference was that the components in the switch were modified to operate a very low
impedance circuit. The input was 36 volts (three 12 volt batteries in series) and the output was the same. The batteries boiled continuously during operation, and John never ran it for more than 30 minutes at a time in full power mode. The batteries were too small to be charged that hard.
Although John has not
revealed the entire schematic for the Ferris Wheel machine, there is quite a bit of data on the internet. Here is one drawing that is posted on a discussion thread dedicated to this machine. It shows how the magnets on the wheel interface with the three coils,
www.bedinisg.com/ 88 and the control circuit being basically a
"Bedini-Cole Switch." The machine also had a two foot diameter "hub motor" section that operated as a motor during the "idle mode" and as a generator in "full power mode." The circuitry used here was also a modified Bedini-Cole Switch with recovery to the charge battery system.

One Battery, Two Batteries, Three Batteries, Four...
This book would not be complete without mentioning the significance of the role of the battery in all of John's systems. To date, John has built and demonstrated machines and circuits that "self-run" using one battery, two batteries, three batteries, and four batteries. All of the systems he has
demonstrated have at least one battery. The battery is a central component in all of John's work.
In John's 1984 book Bedini's Free Energy Generator, he shows the method of building a self-running machine using one battery. This process draws energy from the battery to drive an ordinary (direct induction) DC motor to produce mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used to sustain the rotation of a flywheel (stored momentum) and an Energizer (low drag generator) that is used to charge a capacitor (stored electrical charge) while dissipating very little of the mechanical energy.
www.bedinisg.com/ 89 "back EMF" to limit the current consumed by the motor in direct
relationship to the speed. This means that the faster it turns, the less current it draws. So, the system works better as the motor approaches its "top speed." Speed also favors the Energizer, since it will produce more "peak voltage events" per second to charge the capacitor, the faster it goes. The "sweet spot" for this machine is a very low friction mechanism!
Mechanically, it must be perfectly aligned and fitted with free-running bearings so that it is capable of reaching its highest possible speed for the lowest expenditure of mechanical force. As the speed rises, the motor draws less and less electrical energy from the battery, while the Energizer is able to put more and more back in from the capacitor discharges.
At a critical speed, the system starts putting more energy into the battery than it is taking out and it moves into "self-running" mode. The machine has three energy storage components in it. They are the Flywheel, the Capacitor, and the Battery.
During "self-running" mode, all three energy storage components reach maximum capacity. The Flywheel maintains maximum speed, whether the electric motor is running at the moment or not. The Capacitor is constantly charged by impulses from the Energizer in a way that removes almost no momentum from the Flywheel. At operational speed, the electric motor draws minimal electricity from the battery about 50% of the time while 100% of the output from the Energizer is either collected in the Capacitor or delivered directly back to the battery the other 50% of the time.
The battery is the primary energy reservoir of the system. It has the energy to start the system and get it up to operating speeds, and it has the capacity to absorb all of the excess energy produced by the system. To make a
home power plant out of a system like this, just put more and more batteries in parallel with the first, and use a switching process that won't burn itself out. After that, just "let it run".... as John always says.
www.bedinisg.com/ 90 As straight forward as this seems, John found that most people could not make it work. For the most part, it wasn't their fault. The problem was the battery. The fact is, batteries do not like to be "charged and discharged" simultaneously or even sequentially, in rapid succession. It has to do with the energy required to constantly overcome the inertial momentum stored in moving the large lead ions back and forth in the electrolyte.
To get around this "inertial mass" loss mechanism at the molecular level, John developed his two battery systems, where one battery runs the machine and the other battery is charged for a number of hours, and then they are switched only once or twice a day. This worked much better, but still most people could not get it to work. Most of the reasons
experimenters have gotten bad results with the two battery systems are covered in detail in the Bedini SG Intermediate Handbook.
And this brings us to the consideration of the three battery systems. For the most part, the three
battery system was presented as a method to explain why the four battery system
worked. In the last few years, however, a couple of skilled experimenters have found that it has a number of specific merits, all by itself. This diagram has been on John's website since 1996 and shows a method whereby a dead battery can be charged
while running a "low resistance load", like an electric motor turning an Energizer, for example! This method allows an ordinary electric motor to operate while the current is conserved to charge a battery at the same time.
www.bedinisg.com/ 91 John shows that by rotating the batteries around to each of the positions, all of the batteries improve in their state of charge, all the while running the load. This is where most "self-respecting" scientists lose interest. As long as you believe in the "Law of Conservation of Energy," you will NOT consider investigating this phenomena. As long as you believe that the load "consumes" electricity, you will not investigate reports that it is being "conserved" at the same time as it is being used.
To learn more about these developments, check out this discussion thread with more than 300 posts: http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable- energy/10610-3-battery-generating-system.html
But this gets even worse with the four battery systems! This drawing has been on John's website since 1996, and his work with circuits like this dates back to 1983. First introduced to these ideas by Ronald Brandt, this circuit topology John eventually named the "Tesla Switch." The circuit shows a load being
operated between the Negative Terminals of two batteries that are alternately connected in series and parallel with two other batteries,
producing a fluctuation of current between two points of "equal" potential. When switched abruptly between these two states, the load operates on a "cold form" of electricity without discharging the batteries. John was
interested in this phenomena because it elicited the expression of the same kind of "modified electricity" that he so clearly demonstrated with his tests on the Kromrey Generator.
